Workers pulled heavy chains around the façade of a massive three-story building. Sweat stained their colorless shirts and dampened their ill-fitting overalls. Shapeless felt hats obscured men’s crevassed faces that resembled characters from the Great Depression-era photographs. They used carabineers to clip the chain links to worn-out horse harnesses. Their horses, both tired and underfed, pounded their hoofs steadily against the cobblestone. Earlier in the day, the same workers dismantled the white Corinthian columns from the building’s front entrance and removed the streetcar wires to clear the way for the transfer of the structure three blocks north. Finally, when all […]

“I bathed him, picked him up, and he slipped right through my arms, head first,†Ruth whispered. “The thump sounded like a cantaloupe hitting the floor.†I was at Ruth’s house in La Barbaria Canyon near Santa Fe, two days after my law partners confronted me about my poor attitude. We had just finished dinner, the rain had stopped, and her 28-year-old son Billy had gone out to her Mercedes to get the groceries and the half-gallon of hearty Burgundy. As a new lawyer, I had handled her divorce two years ago, and we were friends, but her intensity and […]

In the wild west, I’m a saloon girl:
What am I?
Bioluminescent eye
That sees by the shine
Of its own light. Lies
Blind me. I am the seventh human sense
And my stepchild,
Consequence;
Scientists can't find me.
Januswise I make us men;
Glamour
Was my image then—
Remind me:
The awful fall up off all fours
From the forest
To the hours…
Tick, Tock: Divine me.
-- Richard Kenney
